Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A:
An elevator starts with $m$ passengers and stops at $n$ floors $(m\le n)$.
The probability that no two passengers alight at the same floor is
$\displaystyle \frac{,{}^{n}P_m}{n^m}$.

Reason R:
If $(n+1)p$ is an integer, say $r$, then
$P(X=r)=,{}^{n}C_r p^r(1-p)^{n-r}$ is maximum when $r=np$ or $r=np-1$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer:

Solution

Total ways for $m$ passengers to choose floors $=n^m$

Favorable ways (all different floors) $={}^{n}P_m$

So Assertion A is true.

Reason R is a property of binomial distribution, which is true, but it has no relation to the elevator probability problem
